    Who doesn't love tacos!?!? This place is absolutely beautiful inside, parking is not bad as it sits at the end of Main Street. The waitress was very nice. I wanted to try as much as possible since I was dining alone and so I got the organic margarita, sampler platter, and the three street taco plate with three different street tacos (chicken, steak, and el pastor). Margarita was good, not too sweet. I wanted to have a mango mojito but they didn't have mint. The sampler platter was ok. It was definitely a lot of food, but if you are sharing it with a group larger than two, it's hard to due to only having 2 of everything. The wings were DRY, and the chicken strips were ok, but not even in comparison to the jalapeño poppers, chicken quesadillas, or the flautas. They were good and they should have served more of those items to make the platter more shareable, and more of the items that tasted better. The tacos. . . The chicken and pork meat were well seasoned, steak was bland. I also was not expecting flour tortillas. That alone made it worse. They brought me my sampler platter and tacos out at the same time so by the time I started eating the tacos the shells were chewy. The rice was decent, but I was really upset about the beans. Out of the whole cup on my plate there was three spoons worth of beans (about 12 beans!). The flavor was good, just didn't know why there was nothing but liquid. My meal was $52!!! Which if it was a five star meal it would have been fine, but it definitely wasn't.

    Taco salad with shrimp

    El Paso is certainly a diamond in the rough in Sumter. The ambience is bright and cheerful (though some children may find the murals celebrating Dia de los Muertos a bit scary). The restaurant is located on Main Street at the end of block next to a boarded up business. Let me start by saying Mexican cuisine is not one of my favorites. I can only think of maybe two Mexican restaurants that stand out in my experience. This review is very focused on only two of the dishes that we had. I'm sure their meat dishes will get a higher rating from me. We were seated and immediately given some tortilla chips, salsa and black bean sauce. I also ordered a small dish of guacamole. I'm a big fan of guacamole, but it seemed a bit too salty for me. I like the beans. I was hungry, so I overdid it on the chips. Since we weren't eating meat that day, I ordered a shrimp taco salad and my wife ordered fish tacos. The salad was inside of a taco shell, and consisted of some lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, and about six butterflied shrimp that we're probably cooked on the flat grill. The salad was small and Mexican ranch dressing was served on the side. The dressing was tasty, but the shrimp was bland and without any kick or flavor. I had a tough time finishing it. I tasted my wife's fish tacos and they were so so. These fish tacos lacked acid. It might be a good idea to add some pickled slaw to your fish tacos? That would elevate the tacos with some good crunch, balance and flavor. I would rate the service a four, the ambience a five and our meal a three. We would try the restaurant again on a day that we're eating meat.

    Tasteless Fajitas

    Well. I like to support new and local businesses, but certain experiences make it hard. With rising prices I will say I question if I want to go back to give a place another shot from initial impressions. Of course if you are reading this then you know this is a good review in the essence that it is the truth of my one and only experience here. I have been told that I can be unfair when I compare sushi places to the sushi I had in Japan or Mexican or TexMex to what I have had living in Texas and Southern Cal. Still you can do a food comparison but customer service is not location specific. While staying in the local area I noticed there was a new Mexican place and decided to give it a shot since so many places in this area are closed on Sunday. I went there and sat at the bar. No hello or acknowledgement but after a few minutes I was brought some chips and dip. I decided at this point that I was going to get a to go order to take it back to the hotel to watch the playoff game. While there I decide to go with a mojito. It started off good as I saw that they were actually muddling mint leaves. Many times you just see a mix being used. I got the drink and this had to be the worst mojito I have ever had. The amount of club soda used in it overpowered all the other flavors. No taste of lime, mint, or rum could be detected. Basically, if you were given a club soda then this is the flavor you got and the only flavor you got. I decided to go with fajitas as a safe bet after asking about items on the menu. I asked if they had tripa or lengua tacos and the hostess said no. With it being Sunday there could have been a possibility of having menudo since I am use to many places serving it only on the weekends. The horchata was on its last bit of foam and that is when the hostess said they are not a true authentic Mexican place. The food came out very quick and I went with the Texana Fajitas which was shrimp, steak, and chicken. Now let me back it up. I was asked if I wanted flour or corn tortillas and of course I went with flour for fajitas. I semi-finished my drink and gave up on that and grabbed my food to head back to the hotel room. I got back to the room and with this being fajitas take a guess what was missing? Refer back to the question I was asked. No tortillas. Fajitas with no tortillas? Ay dios mios! I am back in the room and the game was about to start so I was not going back to the place for tortillas. So I used the chips to make a sort of nacho plate and overall the food was flavorless. The beef was chewy and basically was like chewing on gristle. The three shrimps included in my meal were pretty good and the chicken was just bland. Very disappointed in the food, service, and ultimately my choice to give this place a try. One star from me and perhaps I caught them on the wrong day. It is also a possibility that many of the people who go here have never experienced eating Mexican food out of the local area. Not a knock but its like being in another country and you see a place that says true southern soul food. You going to second guess going there, but the food here there is no second guessing about. The food was just not good here.

    We had a great experience here. Food was good and relatively inexpensive. The drinks were strong. I wouldn't say it's authentic Mexican food but nothing around here is. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and bright and the staff was great.

    Flautas Mexicanas and it comes with either ground beef or shredded chicken in corn shells.

    The food, service, & ambiance are all great! Staff are friendly. Plenty of seating indoors and out. They have parking on S. Main St. and also behind building if I'm not mistaken.

    Ate two meals here. They were both very good. Our friends were happy. The decor is very cute. I've uploaded new pictures. The staff is really fantastic.

    Top Shelf Frozen Margarita
    Jack L.

    Food was fantastic, Service was outstanding! Had the Chicken Fajita Burrito with a Top Shelf Margarita with the chips and black bean dip, didn't leave hungry. Kudos to Nyanda for the great customer service she provided. I look forward to my next visit.

    Read all of the reviews available to date and decided to give it a try. We went for lunch and ordered from the Lunch Menu: Chicken Taco Salad and Cheese Enchilada. The service, Kendall, was superb and cheerful and the meal was really well prepared. I usually order a Taco Salad whenever out of lunch at a Mexican restaurant but this one was contrary to my previous encounters. Usually, the salad is lettuce with some vegetable with chicken almost as an afterthought. Today, it was a plentiful serving of chicken, tender and favorable over fresh vegetables. We each had a small margarita (small was enough) which was well prepared and definitely a surprise price wise. Will return.

    If I could give this place zero stars I would. By far the worst Mexican in Sumter. The one star is for Isabella because she was sweet and btw who ever she was asking questions from was a total jerk! The rice was dry, the quesadilla is Colby Jack cheese thrown in a tortilla with zero flavor, oh and don't forget the literal smallest bowl of queso you can get is going to cost an arm and a leg. $50 later that I did not want to give to this business. We will not be back. Oh by the way management, when customers are being seated and can see people who handle the food on their phones above the food... that's GROSS.

Food here is pretty good and while the salsa is kid rated, you can spice it up pretty easy by adding hot sauce to it. Dinners are enjoyable, service was good and polite. This property is showing its age to be sure, I know it's been open here like this for at least 17 years, Still I recommend a stop for whatever American Mexican meal you like.

    "Chicken Fajitas with a Side of Fumigation...??"…read more About a week ago, my family and I visited Angel's Mexican Restaurant after a failed attempt to dine at Red Lobster for a family member's birthday celebration. While I had a taste for some Cheddar Biscuits and Salmon, a family reunion and an extended 2 hour wait, relocated our party a few miles down the street to Angels. " The Scene" As with all Mexican restaurants, the restaurant resembled the establishments I frequent in Texas. The walls were adorned with Sombreros and vibrant colors and flags accented the decor. Unfortunately, upon entry, since my nose works perfectly, the unmistakable smell of a restaurant that had been recently fumigated assaulted me. I asked my party if their noses relayed the same thing and we all agreed that the smell was unmistakable. Sadly, the party continued to move forward so I decided to be of good cheer and enjoy the birthday celebration. "The Meal" Normally if I smell RAID in a restaurant entrance, I will do an "About Face" and March out the way I came, but alas it wasn't my birthday. As I type this review, I see that another Yelper has confirmed my suspicions about the smell, by verifying the presence of "vermin" during their recent stay. Even with the horrid smell, I decided to give the establishment a "3" as I didn't witness any... and our waitress was phenomenal. I have worked in the food industry as a youth and understand the importance of fumigation, just not remaining as thick in the air during dining hours, that I could cut the smell with a knife. Our party ordered 1. An appetizer of chicken wings and fries, (delicious) 2. An order of a white cheese hamburger dip 3. An order of a cheese Blanco dip 4. An extremely (DRY) white chicken meat burrito with cheese 5. Chicken tortilla soup (salty) 6. A kid's chicken quesadilla with Spanish rice 7. A Tilapia fajita with shrimp and scallops and a 2-plate special with a stuffed Chile Relleno. For dessert the party decided on chocolate filled churros that were actually light and fluffy. From what I gathered, the participants involved graciously ate and enjoyed their meal, while withholding comments about the horrific smell. All in all, the time catching up at the establishment was nice, but the smell made me nauseous. I couldn't enjoy my meal, and since I was on vacation with several places to eat at in Texas, I didn't want to make a scene. Unfortunately for me, a second visit will probably not be in the future. Da Islandgal29412 Ms. Foodie. I applaud management for trying to control their "vermin" issue, but please close the restaurant the day of and after, I literally was nauseous by the time we made it home...

The wings are absolutely phenomenal. They're perfectly cooked with a great variety of flavors to choose from. The pizza is outstanding with that delicious thin crust that hits the spot every time. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but those wings and pizzas are must-tries! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming with a great local vibe. It's the perfect place to unwind after a long day, catch up with friends, or enjoy some quality bar food and cold craft beer. They offer an impressive beer selection, featuring over 75 different domestic and craft options. One of the things I really appreciate is that it's a smoke-free bar, which makes for a much more comfortable environment. The prices are very fair, and the service is always professional and attentive. Whether you're a local or just passing through Sumter, Main Street Tavern is definitely worth a visit. Great food, great drinks, great people. What more could you ask for?

I am sure it is clean, but they have gross old couches in the front area and it always smells a little bit like a restroom. Good place to grab a drink or two after dinner.
